Georgia lawmakers are taking another crack at fixing the state's transportation woes.
State Sen. Jeff Mullis introduced legislation today that would allow local communities to ask residents to impose the sales tax hike for road improvements and construction.
Backers of a 1-cent sales tax to fund transportation in Georgia say it could generate up to $1.2 billion in new money for roads and rail projects around the state.
Republican leaders in the House have said they will push a statewide plan.
